All right, it’s been a long time since I posted anything. I finished couple jobs, but posted only one, a deco cabinet that you can see here
But here is one of the new project we are working on I wanted to post on here.
Years ago we regilded 12 side chairs and 2 armchairs for a client in La Jolla
We are making a dining room table to go with them, but I will post about this later when we are further ahead.
At the moment the legs are being carverd out of solid walnu...

We just published a new video on the reversibility of the animal glues and specifically hide glue through a presentation and 2 projects.
I hope you enjoy those and it answers some of the questions we receive often regarding the understanding of reversibility.
Of course Old Brown Glue has the same property.

I have been carry on working on the boxes with a 2 weeks pause for our february teaching session at the American School of French Marquetry. Great class, here are some pictures

Anyway. Before the class started I had to finish the inside of the boxes with French Polish, before the room was taken over by the students.
There is different way of holding the pieces with nails bent in places
Or with small wood blocks
I like to have it lay out...

We did a new video on this hide glue series on a low-tech technique to veneer columns.
Please comment it helps us progress in our videos and do not hesitate to ask question we will do a video to answer you.

The columns were turned with groves to allow for black rings.

While planning my first veneer marquetry experience I was a little worried about using hot hide glue to fasten the marquetry to the box sides of my project. I worried that the glue would cool too quickly before I could get it into the veneer press.
I had read an article here about making your own liquid hide glue that could be used at room temperature and which had a very long open time. Realizing that this would eliminate any risk of the glue setting up too quickly before pressing I decid...

So Patrick did veneer the column.He first put the veneer on an kraft paper to hold the fiber ni place, we were not sure this thick veneer will like the bending. The article can be found there http://www.oldbrownglue.com/articles.html
What you see here is were the seem was made, on the overlap, using a veneer saw then using the reversibility of the glue with an iron to finish the glueing.
It cleans easily enough with water
I have been careful enough to mark where the ring inse...

We have been hired to make a dining room table from a 30’s model and slide it on the Biedermeier side.
This is not our usual traditional furniture making but it is also a nice change in the usual styles we work on.
We started with a simple design to show the overall idea
Brick laid apron in pine for a light top
Poplar “plaque to glue under the top. it will host a metal plate to bolt the lower part to the top
The base is made out of beech, for an heav...
